Abstract

Education for sustainable development has not featured strongly in the discourse promoted by the journal, Problemy Ekorozwoju/Problems of Sustainable Development. This paper provides a brief background to environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) and focuses on the theorization and pedagogies appropriate for ESD if perceived as transformative and political education. The obstacles that stand in the path of education for sustainable development are overviewed, and an attempt is made to suggest key questions that may underpin a transformative curriculum of education for sustainable development. It is hoped that the paper encourages further discussion in Problemy Ekorozwoju of issues around education for sustainable development.
